Tortuga

A/N: It's finally here Chapter 5! Audience oohs and awes.

"Stop!" Jack tried to protest against the fight as he pulled himself off the hard floor where Barbossa had left him.

"Stop it this instant!" the swords kept clashing and no one could here poor Jack, for by now the commotion had attracted the rest of the crew and all attention was on Bill and Barbossa. Suddenly something happened that no one was expecting. Bill lost his sword and it went skidding across the floor. Bill dogged Barbossa's blows then he started throwing what ever came to his hand. Wood, pieces of old furniture, anything. Everything went flying in Barbossa's direction.

"That's cheating Bill!" Barbossa hollered. "No one told me we were aloud to cheat!"

"Pirate!" Bill sneered.

"You're done for WILIAM!" Bill winced, expecting the worst, and then opened his eyes slowly as Barbossa crumpled to the floor on top of him with Jack standing behind him with an old rusted candlestick.

"That'll leave a mark!" Joseph, a nearby mate, snickered as he watched Jack help Bill off his hands and knees back up to his feet.

Jack dropped the candlestick on the floor next to Barbossa then he and Bill left to go up on deck. As they approached Calico at the helm Joe, who was stationed in the crow's nest, yelled very happily "Land Ho! Its Tortuga Cap'n!"

"Excellent"

The Pearl pulled into port in the late afternoon. It had been awhile since the crew had been to Tortuga and they were all eager to get ashore and get to there favorite bar the "Bride's Maid". To Jack all Tortuga brought to him was bad memories, Tortuga reminded Jack of his Mother, Genevieve. She was a very beautiful woman with dark jet-black hair, deep brown eyes, and a smile that would make men weak in the knees. Jack loved his mother dearly and when she past away he swore he would never love another woman, so when it came to going ashore Jack refused to go.

"Come on now Jack, Tortuga is a beautiful place, I'll let you have your first drink of rum!" his father bribed.

Jack smirked to himself. That wasn't much of an incentive since he had been drinking the vile alcohol for several years obviously behind his father's back. Of course by now he had become quite accustom to the brown fluid and he did like it.

Jack still refused. Calico soon gave up and went to shore by himself. Jack sat in his room listening to the waves hit against the side of the ship.

No matter what happens to me Jack, I only want you to be happy, remember that. This was the last thing Jack's mother ever said to him. He began to feel sick to his stomach and decided to get some fresh air. Jack exited the room and locked the door behind him.

"Locks are for cowards." Came a voice from behind him.

He turned around instantly but no one was there. He looked up and down the corridor, not a sole. "H-hello?" Jack called there was no answer.

He continued to walk down the hall, his footsteps echoing off the walls then suddenly he heard two sets of footsteps. He stopped and turned around slowly. Barbossa stood towering over him, and he held the candlestick in his hand.

"Forget something?"

Jack reached for his sword but realized he did not have it. Jack looked back at Barbossa with a hint of horror in his eyes. "Woops", he said then turned on his heels and took of down the hall. Barbossa glared at him and took off after the boy. Jack went weaving through the halls trying to lose him. He then took a sharp right turn into a now empty room, Jack could only assume its owner was having a merry old time in Tortuga. He heard Barbossa run by the room and on down the hall. It was now early evening and the moon was shining bright and full. Jack opened the door to the room and carefully made his way to the stairs. He looked up the stairs at the beautiful clear night sky. He put his foot on the first step but as he did Barbossa's voice came roaring from behind him.

"There you are you little brat!"

Jack ran up the stairs and over to the railing. He took hold of a rope and pulled himself up onto the railing. He looked down at the cold water below him, just then Barbossa came up from below. Jack looked back at the water and whimpered a little then jumped into the rough water far below.

The water washed over Jack and it took his breath away. He kicked his way to the surface gasping for air. Barbossa was yelling at him from the ship "I'll get you yet Jack Sparrow just wait." He began to lower a boat into the water. Jack didn't stick around to wait. He started to make his way to shore and had already made a good distance by the time Barbossa had gotten his boat into the water.

Jack went running down the deserted street and past empty houses, then he stopped dead, it was HIS house, his and his mother's and there were people in it but who, they had never sold the house to anyone. Jack walked over to the door and opened it quietly then shut it behind him. He walked up the stairs and towards the room where he had seen the figures. He put his ear up against the door.

"What did you get Richard, any money?" came a first voice.

"Aye loads, you?" Came a second voice.

"Just a bunch of jewelry but we can still get stuff for it, lets go get some supper."

The door swung open before Jack could go anywhere.

The two who were in the room jumped back in surprise, and Jack fell over making a slight squeaking sound of surprise.

"Who are you?" The two from the room said in unison.

"J-Jack S… S…Smith, and you?"

The taller one by the looks of him was about fifteen, answered. "I'm Richard. And this here…" he pointed to a short baggy dressed girl wearing a tan bucket cap and a stunning green parrot on her left shoulder. "This here is Alex." Alex looked up from the corner she was sitting in and had previously been occupied with her jewels. She made eye contact with Jack. Her blue eyes entranced him; they were as clear and as beautiful as the Caribbean. She removed her hat reveling thick brown hair that dropped to about to her shoulders. She was about the same height as Jack, if not a little shorter.

"Jack Smith, did you say?" Alex asked him.

"Uh…uh…yeah!" Jack stuttered

"Well as you know my name is Alex, short for Alexandra and this," she pointed to the parrot. "This is Archie. We were just about to get some supper, want to come?"

"Sure." Jack answered and the three left the house together.
